Hi,

I am currently running FreeBSD 4.9, and I have a user who somehow managed
to get some dead bash processes. I have repeatedly attempted to kill -9
this process without any luck. The way I understood it was that kill -9 was an
"offer that the process can't refuce" :) I.e. that the process would be
terminated no matter wat by the OS?

I tried man kill, and noticed that some shells might have a builtin kill
command. Therefore I even tried running /bin/kill explicitly with no
further luck.

Does anyone have an idea of what I have to do, in order to kill the
proces?

Cheers,
